Real cost (CAT)
Most common complaints
the fixed short term (65-90 days) limits use to micro-emergencies; fees added to interest inflate the effective cost more than it appears at first glance.

Who it's for and who it isn't
Use Préstamos en el Día if you need a small or mid-sized amount in hours, don't want to visit a branch and accept a higher APR than a bank for speed.
Skip it if your payroll is formal, your Buró is clean and you have a week of margin — the bank offer almost always lands cheaper. Also skip it if you're already at the limit with another SOFOM, because cascading debt becomes unpayable.
Requirements to apply
- Valid INE (over 18)
- CURP
- Active mobile number in your name
- Mexican bank account in your name to receive the disbursement
- Buró history is not a blocker; some products accept past delinquencies
How to apply step by step
- You fill the online form: amount, term and basic personal data.
- The institution pulls your Buró (hard pull only if you accept the offer).
- You get the answer — approved, conditional or declined — in minutes for a SOFOM, or one to three business days for a bank.
- If you accept, you sign the digital contract and provide your bank details.
- The deposit lands on the CLABE you provided (same day for digital SOFOMs, one to three days for a bank).
Common application mistakes
- Asking for the maximum on the first loan. The system almost always approves less at the start; ask for something realistic.
- Using a phone number that's not yours (verification fails and the request hangs).
- Listing gross payroll as income. The system cross-checks Buró; inflated figures trigger rejection.
- Accepting the longest term to lower the monthly payment — total interest can end up double.
- Ignoring the confirmation email. If you don't validate your account, the disbursement stays pending and the offer expires in 48 hours.

Frequently asked questions
Does Préstamos en el Día check the Buró de Crédito?
Yes. Every regulated institution in Mexico checks Buró before approving. The difference is what they do with the information: Préstamos en el Día works with clean profiles or minor delinquencies, as long as you can show current repayment capacity.
How long does Préstamos en el Día take to disburse?
For online loans, the deposit usually lands the same business day if you complete the request before the cut-off (typically 2pm CT). For traditional bank loans, one to three business days to the CLABE you register.
Can I prepay without a penalty?
Yes, it's your right under Mexican law. Préstamos en el Día applies prepayments to principal, which reduces future interest. Check the contract for any early-cancellation fee before signing.
How to verify on your own
